Manage your Daily Challenges

Whether it’s a direct challenge or an open one, as long as your request has not been accepted, you can cancel it. Here's how you can cancel a Daily Challenge:

  1. Go to your Chess.com homepage on the web and locate the 'Daily Games' section.

  2. If you’re viewing your Daily Games in Image view, you’ll know a game is still pending because it will have a board icon with a plus sign (+).

    Homescreen on Chess.com with an arrow pointing to the Daily Games section

  3. Just click on it to open the game, then click the 'X' under 'Cancel Challenge?' to cancel it. This will cancel the challenge and remove it from both your screen and your opponent's.

    • If you’re using List view, just click the ‘X’ next to the challenge you want to cancel.
